Koss dj100. Just didn't like anything about it tbh. I am sensitive to head clamp and appearantly this headphone.

So, not the "budget king" for you

I read a raving review here that called this HP the budget king or something of the sort. Lesson learned for me...

What HP?

 

[Lazysloth07]

1. Fake IE8s
2. Skullcrushers
 
Maybe not the skullcrushers that much because they were genuine and didn't cost me the full retail price but they were still quite bad, I can't say I didn't like them at the time though and I'm still kind of fond of them as they were the first cans I ever bought. I feel pretty horrible about buying the IE8s though because they were abnormally cheap and on Ebay as well so maybe I deserved that. What sucks most though is that I thought they were real for a while and when I found out they were fake they sounded way worse than I remember, some kind of placebo effect maybe.

Placebo is powerful, what matters is that you enjoy your music before your headphones. We often forget this here.

I never regret any headphones bought. All audio gear I've had has been a valuable lesson in sound science. But there's a couple of headphones and other gear that I sold that I could do without.

Was pretty disappointed with:

1. Ultrasone Pro 900:  didn't like the sound sig at all
2. Aiaiai TMA-1:  unrealistic expectations based on the FOTM frenzy, thought the sq was weak at the price, and uncomfortable
3. Denon D2000:  unrealistic expectations based on the FOTM frenzy, and lots of sounds leaking in and out... might as well be an open hp
4. Shure E4c:  my first IEM, uncomfortable, no bass at all

Sennheiser HD 205's, bought them from HMV because I had got a voucher as a present. They broke as soon as I got home before I could even try them out.
 
Skullcandy Hesh, they were alright but just a waste because I used them once and never used them again.

hd438. so much crap :|

Alessandro MS1i.  Such a bad, bad sound to my ears and preferences.  Even though it was a modified Grado, I will still never buy a Grado product because of this.

K702. Seriously felt like punching myself in the face when i tried em the first time.
Until:
Silly break in period with m-stage, then dozen of hours tweaking an eq curve...
NFB-3.. lots more tweaking
Then C-2.2. Now every second is just heaven. 
 
I can see why people hate these thing.. I really can.  They take stupendous amounts of dedication.

W5000.  Couldn't get them to fit on my small head and any kind of seal, even with elastic bands.  Won't be buying another AT with the same wing system again....

I've never regretted buying any headphone but that said the D2000 is probably the one I was most disappointed with. Oddly enough however the D7000 is one of my better purchases.

well that's just unlucky, sorry mate.
Now to something completely different:
 
You own a Roland RH-300... there are hardly any reviews around but there is an FR-graph which is quite flat. Could you please summarize your experience with these headphones?

 

[Fearless1]

 My Grado GS1000is, they sound great but are like torture on my head. I got them for less 600 but money not well spent for a HP I can wear for less then an hour.
